Brazil
was quite the spectacle.
We
woke up, bought bus tickets for tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. Then we crossed the
river into Brazil again. We grabbed a place at a quant hotel. It was one of the
simpler hotels, yet the same price as the nicest hotel across the river in
Bolivia. Things are definitely more expensive in Brazil.
We
bought some jerseys, ate some ice cream, and tried to speak with the locals.
Communicating was not easy. I know the absolute minimum of Portuguese from my
mom, and Chad and Ali knew squat diddly. Us knowing Spanish helped us less we
thought at first. I did have a few good conversations though. One 19 year-old stock
boy at the best grocery store offered to put us up for the night at his place.
We denied, but appreciated the gesture nonetheless.
As
Sabbath approached, we Skyped our parents with the much faster Internet. Then,
Chad’s parents
treated us to supper at the best pizza place in the world. We got four flavors
with various toppings such as heart of palm, corn, peas, Parmesan and mozzarella
cheese.

We
have to wakeup earlier tomorrow to cross so until then, Happy Sabbath from
Brazil!
**Keep
adventurizing!...I know I will!**
